Christian Answers, Apologetics & Discipleship

Standing Tall

Keith Mosher was lost in the world for most of his life, not sure if God existed or who he was. At the age of 35 that all changed when Jesus Christ made himself known in a way Keith could not deny. Now Keith is a Christian writer and Apologist who spends his time defending the faith, encouraging other Christian believers and serving in his local church.

Now if you haven’t read the full the article, let me give you some context. Apparently the owners of CrossFit Gym decided to cancel a Gay Pride Event… the article above explains…

Members and coaches expressed outrage at the decision and one of them reached out to them for further explanation. “Our underlying goal for the staff and members at CrossFit Infiltrate and our other gyms CrossFit White River and University Ave CrossFit, is total health and well-being for the individual and the community. Total health involves the body, the emotions, relationships, and the spirit. At the foundational detractor from health, as we believe God sets the parameters for, is pride. We believe that true health forever can only be found within humility, not pride. Humility is seeing oneself as they truly are, and as God truly defines them to be. As a business we will choose to deploy our resources towards those efforts and causes that line up with our own values and beliefs.”

After this decision was made CKO Russell Berger decides to go on a twitter spree supporting this decision but for different reasons, and going WAY too far…

He tweeted, “Thank you #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by your convictions and refusing to celebrate sin by hosting an @indypride workout. The intolerance of the LGBTQ ideology toward any alternative views is mind-blowing. #CrossFit”

And…

As someone who personally believes celebrating “pride” is a sin, I’d like to personally encourage #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout.

Now let me be very clear, I have no idea why anyone would hold an “IndyPride Workout” in the first place, why are we celebrating ANY sexual lifestyle in the form of a workout?? I DON’T GET IT. Of course pride is a sin, homosexuality is a sin… the whole idea is abhorrent in the eyes of God and should be for his followers, so I support the decision to cancel such a strange event. But that doesn’t mean I support the actions of Russell Berger who deserved to be fired.

You do not go out in public, and make statements concerning the company you work for, unless that is your job, and they have given you approval over said statements. He obviously has deep rooted convictions on this issue, but what he did was unacceptable, and I would have fired him just as quickly.

Please understand, what you do on social media MATTERS. What you say on these platforms will be preserved ETERNALLY so be VERY sure you stand behind your words, and if you work for a company (and want to keep your job) maybe you should inquire about their social media rules. Most companies today have them.

So what do you think? Should Mr. Berger have been fired? And what the heck is going on with #IndyPride Workout???

My husband was a federal employee for over 30 years. He refused to join any of the social medias while he was employed and cautioned those working under him to be very careful about what they said if they were on social media. This is his 4th year retired and he STILL doesn’t do any of them; our kids send their FB things by text or email to him; that’s the only reason I”M on social media sites (besides sharing the Lord with others).

Welcome. My blog is a place where readers will find writings of personal experiences, thoughts, and the peace that the Lord provides throughout my walk. I intend to bring inspiration and insight, as well as providing a very personal and transparent view into my life, in order to help others see their own lives in a different perspective. I strongly believe that we all need a different view at times, in order for our own personal growth to take place.
